Wish you could slow down β way down? Sexual situations escalating too fast for your taste? When someone touches you in just the right way , it arouses feelings inside you that you can only describe as Holy, or Sacred. You can remember a time β not in your brain, but in your imagination β when sensuality was healing.
Just the idea of tapping into this possibility intrigues you. Many people start their Google-ing journey into Tantra driven by the desire for a certain type of feeling in sexuality. As both a scholar and practitioner of Tantric Philosophy and Tantra Yoga, I can assure you the sexual rituals written about in the ancient texts are not terribly sexy at all, particularly for the women involved. And I imagine the Tantric Gods and Goddesses are having a giggle at how the West has interpreted and evolved what we could now think of as Sacred Sexuality.
They might be totally down with their part in expanding the definition of sex and helping people to become better, mindful, super sensuous, and soulful lovers, however unintentional it might be. Sacred Sexuality is an opportunity to dip your toes into the values and attitudes of an eastern philosophy that teaches that the body is a temple and that love is the energy of spiritual awakening.
I get this question a lot! You are welcome to harness this sacred mindset to expand your capacity for pleasure, deepen your connections, and heal your body shame. For those so inclined, the attitudes of Sacred Sexuality are potent medicine for your sexuality. Often, this attitude alone is enough to make your sex life better.
But who cares??? Inspired by Tantra, you can create an awareness practice of touch. Together, we can create your own Erotic Yoga β tailored specifically to your body, soul, interests and sensibilities. Tantra is a philosophical system from India that has its roots in pre-history and influences all the major religious traditions of the East.
